What Coffee are you roasting this week

Brett H · June 2012

Just roasted a decaf blend 40/40/20 of Columbian Supremo Decaf, Brazil Dattera Opus 1 and El Salvador Los so ethingorother? Medium dark Also did a 40/40/20 of Ethiopian, Guatemalan and Blue Buttocks (technical term). Medium roast

UNM · June 2012

12th Brazil/Sulawesi blend. 15th Honduras Finca el Filo 17th Tanza Tec, 30 sec into 2C. Quite a dark roast by my standards. Now I need to work out what to roast next. Post coming up in the blend suggestions thread shortly.

UNM · June 2012

Just weighed some bag end beans and, based on amount available and Brett H suggestions we have this evenings planned roast of: 100gram Java Ijen 64 Gram Guatemala COE 77 gram Costa Rica Tarrazu 25 gram Mexi Yeni Navan To be roasted a tad lighter than normal - shooting for a fairly quick initial ramp and slow finish roast of first crack plus 10 degrees. Guess which two bags I am finishing. I still seem unable to finish a bag of CS coffee for some reason. Maybe next week my CS bags will reduce. I only got 115 gram of yeni navan and 300 gram MM left. Pretty low on the Nyika too.

This morning I roasted on the KKTO A large batch of 800 gr of PNG Waghi AA KK

WotB · June 2012

Revisiting some of my aged greens. 1.5kg batch of 08 Eth Yirg roasted for filter. Needs a bit more rest, but tastes promising. Cupping notes on my blog.

Lacehim · June 2012

I roasted 600gm of 30% Java Ijen, 30%PNG Waghi AA, and 40% Brazil Sweet. Still got heaps left in my stash, just nothing inspires at the moment. I might have to order some more.

UNM · June 2012

and another two roasts today. 200 gram Monsoon Malabar, 230 gram red icatu. Malabar roast a bit uneven, despite my careful temp management. The icatu is a nice easy roast though. about time to do another stock take.

Hmmm, do all TO's work on that fan principle ? I guess so. Might have a tinker, then again, I assume it is still under some form of warranty ? Gotta love the superblend AM

Jonty · June 2012

The last 48 hours has seen me roast the following: 300g of Tanzania Couds of August - pulled short of 2c 300g of Columbian Lot 3 - pulled between 1c and 2c for aero press 300g blend (60:40) of Ethiopian Guji:Blue Batak All roasted on 1IbP4C or D setting on the Behmor - a little less grunt but pushes roast around the 20min mark.

Love the look of the Guji/Batak blend. Please let us know how that one goes :thumb:

beanflying · June 2012

mycuppa · June 2012

Despite the chilly weather in Melbourne, earlier this week I roasted a heat shield and a bearing and almost roasted myself being just moments away from what was likely to be a massive bonfire............and by later tonight just a tick over 4 pallets of green beans. Looking forward to Wednesday when it's all behind us - extreme insanity.

GaryatGala · June 2012

Talk about living on the edge of hell there MyCuppa ??? Mine is a small scale roast of... 120 gm Brazil Daterra Sweet Collection 100 gm Costa Rican Terrazu 160 gm Ethiopian Sidamo Mormora Plantation Gr3 Naturals 120 gm Sumatran Mandelhing Blue Batak Beans were sourced from BeanGreen. Roasted on the KKTO to a medium brown color. 3 minutes after 1st crack and cooled. Will cup in 4 days time and reveal how it fared. If i like it, it will be the mainstay of my bulk roasts for the restaurant.

Righto here is Jonty's 500 gram peaberry challenge. I'll put up more details in the Behmor thread later tonight or tomorrow but here is a quick photo

derrilex · June 2012

Try 550 Nic, you know you want to :rofl:

Koffee_Kosmo · June 2012

I just did 2 back to back roasts on the KKTO First roast is the last of Jeff's Harrah 650 grams of Ethiopian Harrah Second roast is another last of bag roast 670 grams of Cuba Altura I figure to drink the Cuba first while the Ethiopian rests a little more And somewhere in the mid point a little blending won't be out of the question KK

Kelsey · July 2012

This week I've done the following: 600g blend of PNG Blue Batak/Ethiopian Yirg 600g blend of Columbian Water Processed Decaf and Daterra Estate Sweet natural low-caf 600 SO of Finca Liquidambar The first I forgot about and found it just starting second crack. Thankfully we had high winds and freezing temps as I think it slowed it down just enough. The second two roasts went down so easy it's not funny. The decaf/low-caf blend seems to be just about the easiest roast out there, really hard to get that one wrong. Always even, roasts for about the same duration as my full-strength beans and tastes great. The Finca Liquidambar was an unknown. I'd gotten it off BeanGreen because it was on special. It too roasted supremely easily, pulling at 2C at 23mins(!) but for a gloriously even roast. Too early to tell about either, but I'd run out of beans so drinking them anyway. Even through the 'thinness' of these first couple of days, there's some really nice flavours developing in there. Can't wait to find out the final result.

Brett H · July 2012

I love the Liquid Amber as a single origin but i found is best after about 7 days resting. Perhaps that's just me??

Kelsey · July 2012

It's definitely not ready yet, but I'm getting a hint of what will be. Given how easy it is to roast it could be my go-to easy Single Origin.

beanflying · July 2012

Sitting at the roaster as it passes 120 degrees on a warm up in the dwindling winter sunlight. Before me I have the last 1028g of my precious MTE Bin 35 :'( It has been a great Aussie bean in a sea of mediocrity.

Kelsey · July 2012

Can't get any more? (I was incredibly underwhelmed by Costas' Aussie offering).

beanflying · July 2012

Worthy of it's own thread but keeping names and such out of it would be very hard. So much of the Australian grown coffee is average at best and some of it so below par against cheaper imports it makes the local industry look bad.

The MTE coffees I have either roasted or had as roasted by others have been better than the average and while maybe not worth all the premium (yes costs here are huge compared to virtual slavery) but certainly worthy of considering to drink/roast/buy. Not sure if our couple of green suppliers can keep an eye out for us on the MTE front and or anything else worth considering? Also should note that some of the local production goes direct to end users too as roasted to make people feel good about buying local in spite of the short comings.

Koffee_Kosmo · July 2012

A wet, cold & windy day today Perfect weather of a roast :tearhair: doesn't get any better than that On the KKTO today I roasted 700gr of PNG Waghi KK

shape_shifter · July 2012

While you guys were all having fun at the meet, I was planning my first blend with more than 2 beans. I was guided by the KJM blends and did the following. 24% Peru 20% Hue 32% Harrar 24% Kimel A Attachment not found.

Jonty · July 2012

Well I did a couple this afternoon. It is that cold in the garage that I was blowing smoke signals to myself! Been about a month since I've had a Indo by itself & the wife is wishing for it... So today saw me do 300g of Sumantran Lintong & 300g of Nicaragua Matagalpa Diamond Microlot. The Lintong was taken to just 2C and the Matagalpa was pulled before 2C.

Koffee_Kosmo · July 2012

Just competed a KKTO roast of a lovely Central American A nice little Costa Rican number I am testing for the KK shop 600gr of Costa Rica SHB Roasted to just first snaps of second crack KK

derrilex · July 2012

Just did two back to back 1. columbian supremo 2. ugandan Mt Elgon A Both had near identical roast times - 1st C @ 12.40 2nd C at 18.50 - pulled at 19. I can confirm that the Aldi halogen TO did not cycle out once set to 250 which was great for vision upto 1st C.

beanflying · July 2012

Currently in the cave roasting

PNG Wahgi, Ministry Grounds Pre Blend and currently in the roaster is the Yemen Sanani Mocca. The Sanani has pong to it in the roaster and I am not sure it is a good one :-| Smoke, moisture, chaff near silent cracks. Interesting roast to say the least. Due to the smoke and odors coming off I was running more fan and more heat between F & SC. I really need to move the ET probe too. Wahgi Attachment not found.Attachment not found.Attachment not found.

Koffee_Kosmo · July 2012

Roasting a secret special blend This blend has a Yemen, PNG, Costa Rica and Ethiopian The secret is in the prep 1) All beans were separately stabilized in low heat 2) Beans were roasted together but not pre blended 3 The roast was a stagard bean drop The hard dry grown beans were started first First the Ethiopian followed by the Yemen 30 seconds later They were followed 45 seconds later by the Costa Rica SHB and another 45 seconds later for the PNG Total green bean weight was 900 grams As this blend is destined for the bean swap I won't reveal the amounts now KK
